With the deepest sorrow I wish to inform my friends here that my beautiful Katie is now in the Realm of the Angels. All day Sunday I just felt that she was close. The last 2 days she was having a hard time speaking. I stayed with her during the night just holding her and telling her how much I love her. She left this world the same way she came into it. With her Daddy holding her and loving her.
You wonderful people have been such an inspiration to me during this terrible summer, which is now at an end. I came here often to read the stories of encouragement, hope, and yes sometimes even share sorrow. I must now turn my attention to Carole my wife who is suddenly out of her caretaker role. I'll be back from time to time, as I feel comfort here still. Until then,
All my love
Greg

Greg, I am so very sorry. I have tears for you and your loved ones. My gosh, how I hate this disease, but how I admire the love that you have and that you shared with us. I do hope that your dear Katie had a peaceful passing. Much love to you and Carole.
Re: Where are you going, my little one?.....
Greg,
Your beautiful Katie shares the same day of passing as my beautiful brave boy Tom.
I hope and pray he is at heavens gate to meet her and she will watch over you as I am sure Tom does for me.
Your love in sharing your and Katie's journey is courageous. My love to you and your family during this very sad time.

Dear Greg,
I am so very sorry. My heartfelt and deepest sympathy to yourself, Carole and Bruce. So very sad. I am at a loss as to what to say. Katie was a beautiful person who was taken too soon. May the happy memories and love from others sustain you at this difficult time. Thank you for sharing Katie's journey with us, she will never be forgotten, she will remain forever young and beautiful. Sending you much love, support, strength and comfort across the miles. RIP dear Katie.
Come back here whenever you want to - you are always welcome - you are part of our family. You will remain in my thoughts and prayers.
Much love and hugs,
Michelle xxx
